King 6600
Its name is 6600, Nokia 6600. It is undoubtedly the King of all phones. And its only gradually that I have come in terms with the amazing powers this wizard of phones possess.
When I bought it for quite a hefty price, I had to listen to a lot of comments on its cost-worthiness. But I did get to hear some ‘its-worth-it’ comments from some who found the features real interesting. Just a week later, Nokia cut down prices of most cells by quite some amount. Something they didn’t do for the previous 6 months I was keeping a price-watch for 6600. That felt bad!
Today it is available for an unbelievable price (some 12K officially and even lesser otherwise). If anyone is thinking of buying a new cell, then I will strongly recommend the one and the only – 6600… You can chose the newer Nokia cells (priced quite high currently) which have similar features, but 6600 is the best deal at this moment. And here are the reasons why
Apart from the trivial features that generally ppl look for like camera and screen resolution, I would try to put some that are the true 6600 pluses
>>Symbian OS: Having an OS is the best thing a mobile can have. It suddenly opens up plethora of options for your cell. The feature set of the cell can increase multi-fold. With an OS, you can install new applications and games. The best part is that great number of such applications and games are available on net (my fav – http://www.imserba.com/)
>>MMC Storage: 32 MB Multimedia Memory Card is provided MMCs of sizes greater than 1GB are available. A phone without memory is the mobile greatest handicap (Sony Ericsson T610). You have millions of things to try but you can have only five at a time – not fair!
>>The Nokia 6600 phone is the first device compliant with Series 60 Developer Platform 2.0. Develop using Symbian OS v7.0s C++ APIs, or in Java using MIDP 2.0 and related APIs for Mobile Media, Mobile Messaging, and Bluetooth. In short, there is the latest version of J2ME available but you need a phone that can support it, and 6600 does. Why should you bother? Well, it will make all the fascinating applications being developed run on your phone.
AND THEN THE BEST PART – YOU CAN DEVELOP YOUR OWN APPLICATIONSJ. I am still in the process of learning more about J2ME and Nokia 60 platform but I am quite sure it will be a great feeling to run your own application on your cell.
And just to give the idea of the kind of applications and games that are available
There are games with high quality graphics (no more just snakes) and sound. Some of them are so good that you do not realize that its on a phone - as good as a desktop game. Prince of Persia, FIFA 2005, MotoRacer have their mobile versions
And there are applications by which you can control your PC from your phone, your phone can turn into remote control of any device, you can have Office (doc, ppt and xls) on your phone. What more, I have also seen an application which repels mosquitoes. What more can u get…
So… what are u waiting for… get yourself a brand new 6600…
